Today’s horror movie bingo viewing was Seeds, for the Indigenous Cinema square on my card. I had fun!
I always love to hear language, and this had a lot of Mohawk/Kanien’kéha, some by actual Mohawk speakers, in a modern-day setting.
Great idea to explore Mohawk war and revenge traditions in a horror film, yikes / badass.
Seeds reminded me a bit of Get Out in the way that the worst stuff is kept off-screen to get a PG-13/14a rating, and the ending is reasonably happy. I wonder if Kaniehtiio Horn had similar goals as Jordan Peele around making the film accessible for teens and not re-traumatizing people.
It’s so interesting to feel cared for by a horror movie.
